Free Lance Writing Jobs

Some free lance writing jobs are much more unusual than others. Of course, most fall into the conventional category, and comprise fairly routine tasks and projects. But not all. It's quite surprising what writers can be asked to do for different clients.

I remember one freel lance writing job where I was asked to write copy for a toilet cleaner refill. This was very difficult as I had no information apart from the information provided on the packet, which consisted of just a few words. From this I was required to write some twenty press releases, advertising copy and a whole lot more besides.

I thought that was hard at the time, but it was nothing compared to some of the other free lance writing jobs I was required to do at other times. One of the worst ones was crossing the Baltic Sea on a trawler to write a case study about the fishing industry in the North Sea. I thought this would be quite an interesting experience, but it turned out to be something of a nightmare. The weather was terrible, and I realized that I was much happier as a writer in the warmth of a cosy house, with no dangerous seas breaking all around me.

On another occasion, I was asked to interview a manager who had a reputation for being difficult. In fact, he turned out to be more than difficult. He was extremely rude, arrogant and very offensive. It was as much as I could do to stop myself from punching him in the face. Luckily, I have never had an experience like that since.
